I believe so. The standards for passing the Physical standards Test were reduced with age (but not rank).

Two mile run, age 41-46 male, the standad is: Max score - under 14:05 minutes.
Minimum score: Under 22:04 minutes

Two mile run, age 17-21 male: Max score is 13:22. Min score is 19:57

The standards are different for females.

Weight for height (Height/weight), body fat %, and physical fitness scoring standards are age- and (currently) sex-adjusted.

There is, but it’s still challenging. I scored Excellent for 29 of my 30 years in the Air Force, usually meeting the younger standard. The last year my knee was so destroyed I mechanically could not run and had to do the walk instead. Pissed me off. A leader should be setting the physical standard as well.
